I've got a couple of failed double glazing units so was interested to see an
advert claiming to save me 50% over the cost of replacement.
Somehow they repair the unit without replacement.
Anyone know the procedure involved and is it DIY-able?

Drilling holes into the gap and bunging in something that will absorb
water vapour?

Google back in this group ;-

I recall at least 2 threads in the last 2 years that went into this in
some detail...

The originator of this group - Matthew Marks - produced a good FAQ on
this - dunno if it's still around.

Sounds far too technical for me to search this group. The messages just turn
up in Outlook Express here.

You're missing a lot if you can't search the archives. Google top left
more. Groups is at the bottom of that list. Put what you're looking
for plus uk.d-i-y in the search box

Advanced search, put uk.d-i-y in the groups box, limit the date or age to
the last 2 years and put something meaningful like "repairing DG" or
"repairing double glazing misted" into the main search box.
